Hello
When I fly into JFK my car rental location is from Budget Building 6310 Federal Circle
Do you all provide a shuttle to Federal Circle so I can pick up my rental car?
On a lot of occassions that I've been to NY, I've had the opportunities to try the car rental services of Avis, Hertz and Dollar. So far, I would recommend Avis for their excellent customer service and well maintained line of vehicles.
Please advice, how I can pick-up a car at Building 305
Federal Circle from Terminal 7. Is it easy? I mean to find a shuttle or some thing else..
Thank you in advance.
I book my one week minivan via hotwire with Budget rental car. When I arrive at the counter, The female manager won't call me to the counter, she is on personal phone call,which I can hear everything she said. I wait for 10 min, the 2nd person shows behind me.We ask her, can someone help us? She was burst into attitude, and told us,"just wait,she has problems with the work schedule". Finally after 25 min, she check my reservation, and told me I have to get a free upgrade to a big SUV. I told her I just want my reserved minivan. She claim nothing available, but I saw so many in the parking lot,why? She ignore me,and walk away from 15 min. She is the only person in the counter, I was so mad. I ask for supervisor, she said she is the one.....Finally after 45 min, she gave me the car key with the real bad attitude. It ruin my vocation feeling at the begining.I strongly told evryone....Do not rent from Budget Rental car @ JFK...

Thank you for your reply, Gabi
I'd reccomend Hertz. Just hired a car with them for campus purposes and they were excellent.
Great resource by the way!
Do unlimited mileage car rentals allow you to drive the vehicle to Canada ( Toronto ) and back ? Also, as a travel agent which Car rental company is likely to offer the best rates ?
Can anyone help with a suggestion on how to find a good price on a minivan from Aug 30- Sept 7? I cant seem to find anything for less than $1k & Priceline keeps rejecting my bids. My most recent bid was for $61 a day. I really cant afford a thousand dollar car rental. We are traveling with 6 adults & one toddler & were hoping to all pile into one car.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Is it possible that I rent a car from New Jersey and return it at the JFK airport. Basically I have no ride to the airport and have lots of luggage, so I was thinking into renting a car and driving to JFK from NJ and then returning the car there. Can someone please suggest if thats a good idea?
Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. National was the only rental agency I found that would allow it, but I'm pretty sure that is based on the pickup point and not a National policy. I'm getting mine from the National agency at the Woodbridge Sheraton. Hope that helps.
Hi - I'm arriving in the international terminal with a medium/large dog (25 kilos/55 lbs). I have to get him and his carrier to a rental car. Does anyone know if any of the car rental companies pick me up at the terminal? Or, any recommendations on the best way to navigate with a dog and large carrier in tow? Thanks!

Can anybody tell me how much time you'd give to go from Stamford to JFK (for a Sunday 7:00pm flight) and allowing time to drop off a rental car? Also does anyone know how long it takes to get from Budget return counter to Jet Blue terminal? Thank you.
Enterprises and dollar rent a car sucks. DO NOT RENT car from them. THey are rude and gives u wrong information. Enterprise is somewhere outside the JFK and you will have to walk from there since the bus system is slow. WOrse part is people inside are very slow and rude. They talk amongs themselves while i was waiting for someone to help me. I had to rush to the airport to catch the plane.
My personal experience,
do not rent a car from Enterprise, if you are going to drop it off INSIDE JFK.
They offer you a drop-off in JFK, but the location is actually NOT inside JFK, it's somewhere on the street.
If you are not familiar with the location, you will never be able to find it while you have a plane to catch up.
And frequency of the shuttle bus is 1 HOUR.
When I called to book the car, they did tell me that I was able to drop-off the car INSIDE JFK. Such a trap!
Long story, but they ended up charged me $486 for a 12 hour rental car from Enterprise.
Hope it helps!

I will be arriving in Terminal 4 at JFK. How do I get to the National Rental Car Desk??
Thank You
all terminals have phones to the rental services - in addition all the car rental swervices have shuttle buses that go to each and every terminal to pick up and drop off patrons. Ask any airport personal to direct you to the shuttle bus stops for car rentals. The stops are in front of each terminal.

I rented a car from AVIS at JFK on Saturday June 13, 2009. They only had 2 agents working the counter at 10am.
I was told they did not have my size car available, which I had reserved several days prior.... did I want to upgrade for $6 a day more? No, I said. They said it would be awhile for them to bring down a car.
I waited 20 min. and they said it's coming, it's coming. As it turned out, the rental car was in the space 20 feet outside the door, first one, and they made me wait for no reason.
Since you pay for those extra hours, a delay can cause you to rack up hourly rental fees. So I suspect this is a common practice at this rental site.
The reason I say this is because upon returning the car, on Saturday June 20, 2009.... they said their computers for check in were not working and I had to go inside to check the rental car back in.
Well guess what? Only 2 agents at the counter again at 4pm. ... The same 2 agents.
I waited 30 min. to check in the rental car and yes, that waiting time at the counter was counted as car rental time on the rental agreement. There was a line of 8 people behind me waiting to check in their cars as well and the agents were in no hurry to check people and rental cars back in.
AVOID THIS AVIS LOCATION at JFK. It is the worse car rental agency location I have ever rented from. I'LL NEVER AGAIN RENT FROM THIS AVIS LOCATION!!!
